The Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition is the result of the spontaneous and united effort of 
the patriotic people of the great historic State of Virginia, deservedly assisted by the National Govern¬ 
ment, and with the co-operation of many sister states. Built upon new lines of architecture, “The Col¬ 
onial City” differs from all expositions of the past. Typical of early days in America these structures 
are yet exceedingly beautiful an’cf pleasingly appropriate in their harmony of design. The palaces are ab¬ 
undantly filled with the products of industry showing the progress since pioneer days upon the tidewaters 
of Old Virginia. More than this is to be seen. Upon the broad waterways majestically ride the 
great battle-ships of our navy, engines of power for preserving peace and guarding the paths of 
world progress. In our soldiery here assembled—the branches of the army and the various state 
organizations, are witnessed the invincible latent military strength of our great national democracy. 
Were these the only object lessons thus laid before the people, the Exposition would have 
encompassed success. But more than this is evident. While all the people of our country cannot 
visit this mile-stone marking the lapse of time, yet the innumerable throng who come to these 
shores will be impressed with the knowledge that what is commemorated is but the foundation 
for greater achievements by the American people as the scroll of time unfurls.

THE AUDITORIUM is the central and main building of the three structures forming the principal 
figure of the grand picture of the Exposition. It faces Raleigh Court, with an enchanting view of 
Hampton Roads and the naval ships in the distance, with the Grand Basin, the Piers and the Sunken 
Gardens nearer at hand.

THE AUDITORIUM FROM “LEE’S PARADE.” This view shows the portion of the building 
containing the audience room where the great organ is located and where daily recitals take place. 
The hall is a very beautiful specimen of Colonial Architecture so perfect as to appear to be above 
criticism. 

















PALACES OF MANUFACTURES AND LIBERAL ARTS. The Palaces of Manufactures and 
Liberal Arts extend from Raleigh Court, at the left of the Auditorium to Commonwealth Avenue, and 
form corresponding units with Transportation and Machinery Palaces in the Grand Picture design of the 
Exposition. Filled with the productions of the world’s famous manufactories, the aisles of Manufac¬ 
tures Palace are ever popular places of recreation and study. 











FOOD PRODUCTS PALACE FROM “LEE’S PARADE.” This ornate building, devoted to the 
display of all kinds of food products, is situated nearly opposite the War Path, on Commonwealth 
Avenue, and with one front facing “Lee’s Parade.” Because of the great agitation of the subject of 
pure food at the present time, it is a place of great interest. 











ENTRANCE TO COURT OF FOOD PRODUCTS PALACE. At the Jamestown Exposition the 
harmonious simplicity of the prevailing style of (he Colonial architecture causes a keen appreciation 
of the beautiful results obtained. The observer exclaims: “There at last is something new!” It is 
in the reproduction of the very old lines of our ancestors, The entrance to the Court of the Food 
Products Palace is a noticeable example. 
































r THE POWHATAN OAK—IN ARTS AND CRAFTS VILLAGE. The Powhatan Oak is the venerated 

tree of this section of Virginia. Science has proclaimed the fact that it was a vigorous young tree at 
the time of the landing of the first English settlers, and time has woven many romances about this 
sturdy old monarch of the forest. 








MARINE EXHIBITS PALACE. This structure, so thoroughly in keeping with the Colonial archi¬ 
tectural scheme of the Exposition, and so perfect a type, is situated between the Palace of Mines 
and the East Educational Palace, and extends through from Pocahontas Street to “Lee’s Parade.” 
Filled with all sorts of launches, yachts, and other classes of boats, and nautical appliances, it is 
of great interest to all who love the rivers, lakes and the sea. 






















POCAHONTAS STREET AND PALACES OF TRANSPORTATION AND MACHINERY. This is 

one of the principal avenues of travel; upon the right are seen the palaces of Transportation and 
Machinery, which contain interesting exhibits of modern invention in these lines. 








THE STATES EXHIBIT PALACE. This grand building houses the agricultural exhibits and 
products showing the resources of many of the great States of our Union and contains a wondei- 
fully interesting and instructive aggregation of the fruits of industry. 
















THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING—EAST. .This building contains exhibits of the Treasury, Post 
Office and Inteiior Departments, as well as the Exposition Post Office. The Government buildings 
are always populai and their contents are eagerly studied by the people who evince unflagging 
interest in the work performed by their own public servants. 





























THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING, WEST. ARMY AND NAVY EXHIBITS. This building is 
replete with interesting exhibits showing our governmental system of conducting the Army and 
Navy, and the requirements of these two lines of service. Connected with this building by a pillared 
colonnade is the Smithsonian Institute Museum. 












CAPT. JOHN SMITH TRADING WITH THE INDIANS. This realistic group is in the Smith¬ 
sonian Institute Building, one of the Government exhibit buildings, and is interesting and appropriate. 
It illustrates methods which prevailed in dealing with the red men. and the dress of the settlers. 
Near this group are others showing the prevailing costumes of people of that date. 

























SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM—Is one of the Government buildings. It is filled with interesting and 
instructive exhibits from the home institution an d with many specially designed to illustrate events 
at the date of the settlement at Jamestown. 
















VIRGINIA MINERAL AND TIMBER EXHIBIT PALACE. This entire building is devoted to 
showing the wealth of Virginia in mine and forest, and gives the student on idea of the wonderful 
industrial opportunities lying right at hand. 





















FISHERIES BUILDING. Wonderfully interesting and instructive lessons are here shown of the 
beneficient work of the fisheries commission in the propagation and distribution of food fishes. The 
rivers, lakes and ocean bays are restocked in the manner here shown. 





















JACKIES ON LAND. The sailor boys at the Exposition are an interesting claSsl The visitors 
watch them with curiosity mingled with pride and pleasure. In this picture we sbe them lined up 
awaiting their turn to “fall in” to the procession, many such occasions taking place at this “mili¬ 
tary and naval” exposition. 











PALACE OF MINES AND METALLURGY. The range of exhibits in the Palace of Mines and 
Metallurgy includes specimens of the finest gems and the coarsest but none the less valuable output 
of the coal and iron and other mines, with the machinery used in their extraction and processes of 
treatment. A never ending source of interest is the wealth for which men delve in the depths of 
the earth. 

















THE BUFFALO HUNT. This spirited work of sculpture is the principal example of this art at 
the Exposition. 'It is within the walls of the Auditorium at the entrance to the arch connecting 
with the Education Building. It is greatly admired by on-lookers. It is the work of Henry K. 
Bush-Brown. 







PALACE OF LIBERAL ARTS. Fronting upon Raleigh Court and facing the Lagoons and 
Gardens which make the setting for the Auditori um, this palace is one of the principal figures in 
the groups forming the Colonial City. 























MOTHERS’ AND CHILDREN’S BUILDING-POCAHONTAS HOSPITAL. Great Expositions like 
great cities must provide for the ills which are sure to overtake some unfortunates where 
large numbers of people congregate. Pocahontas Hospital is located at the east border of “Lee’s 
Parade” opposite the State Exhibit Palace. The Mothers’ and Children’s Building, as its name 
implies, is a place of rest, facing Hampton Roads, on Willoughby Boulevard, near the 'Inside Inn. 


















MILITARY PARADE AND NAVAL FLEET. These pictures show two of the leading- features 
at this exposition. One is a military procession upon Lee Parade, the beautiful level training 
ground, and the other a section of the naval fleet o n Hampton Roads, off the Exposition grounds. 















STATE BUILDINGS ON WILLOUGHBY BOULEVARD. The water front of the Exposition 

stretches for some miles along Hampton Roads, and this view shows a portion west of Government Pier 
and Raleigh Court. Along this Board Walk throngs of people are continually passing, visiting the 
State buildings and gazing out upon the broad expanse of waters. 

















LEE PARADE. This fine parade ground is quickly seen upon entering at the main gate. It 
is the scene of many a notable military event. A pleasing sight is the border of apple trees extending 
entirley about its circumference. 












THE VIRGINIA STATE BUILDING. Virginia has erected for the entertainment of her guests a 
typical old Virginia home of the Colonial period. It is beautifully located on Willoughby Boulevard 
and faces Hampton Roads, between Pennsylvania and Maryland buildings, and true Virginia hospitality 
will be dispensed there throughout the Exposition. 















INTERIOR VIEW IN VIRGINIA BUILDING. The interior cf the Virginia State Building is 
strikingly elegant and attractive, and carries out the intent to produce a reproduction of the best 
class of the early Virginia home. 


















THE LIBERTY BELL. Expositions beside being patriotic as well as 
educational institutions stir the hearts of the people by bringing together 
emblems of liberty and trophies of triumph of the past. The Liberty

MARYLAND STATE BUILDING. The beautiful Maryland Building stands on Willoughby Boule¬ 
vard next the Virginia Building, facing Hampton Roads, altogether an ideal spot. The building is a 
reproduction of “Homewood” the city home of Carroll, of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of 
Independence. 















OHIO STATE BUILDING is a reproduction of “Ardenia,” the home of Thomas Worthington,who was 
the first senator from that state. It was the first stone house to be built w r est of the Alleghany 
Mountains. It stands on Willoughby Boulevard, west, between Missouri and West Virginia buildings. 

















THE WEST VIRGINIA BUILDING is a type of the prevalent home of the well-to-do-citizen of that 
state of to-day, and is of Colonial lines. It has fine living' accommodations for its commissioners. 
Nearby is the commanding coal tower built entirely of coal from West Virginia Mines. 

















THE ILLINOIS BUILDING has the distinction of being the only pressed brick building upon the 
gi'ounds. It is a modern furnished building of Colonial design, with living quarters for its hostess, and 
commissioners when they visit the exposition. It is one of the prettiest buildings on the grounds, 
and stands next east of Massachusetts building. 

















THE NEW JERSEY STATE BUILDING, on Matoaka Circle, and near neighbor to both Rhode 
Island and Connecticut buildings, is a reproductio n of Washington’s Headquarters, at Morristown. It 
is a stately structure standing a little back from the line of State buildings, but with unobstructed 
view of Hampton Roads. 










CONNECTICUT BUILDING. This building, a replica of Colonel Talmadge’s House at Litchfield, 
is one of the most interesting at the Exposition. All furnishings throughout are antiques of great 
value and of historic interest. Warming pans, cradles, spinning wheels and many other old-time 
objects abound. Colonel Talmadge was a Revolutionary soldier and his home in Litchfield was 
visited by Washington. 
















LOUISIANA BUILDING. This is a modern comfortable building in which to receive the State’s 
guests. It has a collection of portraits of governors, French, Spanish and American, forty-six in 
number, hung upon the interior walls. 

























KENTUCKY STATE BUILDING. A reproduction of the Booneville Fort which was erected in 
1775 by Daniel Boone, the Pioneer, in Madison County.- Upon each corner is a block house, and the 
whole cluster of buildings make an attractive group at the west end of Willoughby Boulevard. 



















MISSOURI. This state is ever forward in showing an enterprising spirit. The State Building 
is a beautiful structure upon the Boulevard. Her exhibit in the States Exhibit Building is both 
extensive and entertaining, showing her inexhaustible resources. 




















NORTH CAROLINA has one of the most attractive state buildings upon the grounds. It is 
a modern adaptation of Colonial architectural lines. The State’s principal exhibits are in the 
States Exhibits Palace. 




















DELAWARE STATE BUILDING. At the extreme eastern end of Willoughby Boulevard near 
Commercial Pier, is the unique building of Delaware. It is a reproduction of a Colonial country 
residence near Wilmington. The arrangement of the interior is unlike any other on the grounds. 
One half is a large room reaching from ground floor to roof, while the other half has floors and is 
divided into rooms. 


















NEW YORK. This building is a grand structure, very near the water’s edge, on Willoughby 
Boulevard, East. It is framed on the usual liberal policy of the Empire State, and furnished with 
all comforts and conveniences for the entertainment of the State’s guests. 



















RHODE ISLAND BUILDING. Rhode Island enterprise is well shown in this pleasing modern 
type of Colonial architecture. Early on the ground, Rhode Island secured one of the finest sites and 
was the first state to have a completed building. It has every convenience for accommodating the 
State Commissioners, and, in its appointments, is a model state building. It faces Hampton Roads. 











PALACE OF COMMERCE. This is one of the pair of Bazar buildings at the entrance of the 
War Path. Merchants from many foreign lands display their fascinating wares within these walls. 













THE ARTS AND CRAFTS VILLAGE is composed of seven unique structures where are shown 
the methods of working in various materials. Among them are the iron shop; the copper, silver and 
wood shop; the textile building, and the model school. 














THE FIRE DEPARTMENT at the Exposition, is not only a thoroughly organized protective 
department, but serves as an exhibit as well for all citizens interested in providing tire apparatus for 
cities, villages and towns. 













ENTRANCE TO PALACE OF MANUFACT URES AT NIGHT. The Palace of Manufactures, 
when illuminated with its electric decorations, ta kes on new attractions, the illustration showing the 
brilliancy of the effect. 










KUROKI and GRANT. On the occasion of the recent visit of General Kuroki to the Exposition 
these two prominent persons were the objects of much interest to the people—as being the greatest 
General of this day and the son of the greatest General of an earlier day. 





JAPANESE SAILORS. Five hundred sailors in one group at the Exposition. They were from 
the crusiers Tsujuba and Chitose. The lower picture shows how the ships anchor and the distance 
at which they lie from each other in Hampton Roads. The two dark colored vessels are English 
warships visiting the Exposition. 















LIFE SAViNG STATION. This is a reproduction of one of the Government stations as they 
appeal at dangerous points on the coast. The daily exhibitions of methods used by the crews to save 
persons on wrecks and to succor those in peril, as well as to save property is interesting to everyone. 
























INTERIOR OF CONVENTION HALL. Convention Hall is just within the main entrance of the 
grounds and is for use of great conventions and other large gatherings for which the Auditorium 
might prove inadequate, 














HORSE SHOE PATH ON LOVERS’ LANE. Horse Shoe Path is one of the shady walks near 

the Arts and Crafts Village and borders upon the waters which surround that part of the ExposU 
tion grounds. It invites the weary to rest and a respite from sight-seeing.

BAPTISM of POCAHONTAS. Pocahontas was the first American Indian, in Virginia, to be 
converted to Christianity and baptised. When christened she was given the name of Rebecca 





MARRIAGE OF POCAHONTAS. Pocahontas fell in love with John Rolfe, an English gentleman, 
and they were married in the church at Jamestown, in April 1614. She was given away by her uncle 
Opachisto, brother of Powhatan. Pocahontas had one son, Thomas Rolfe, through whom she had man} 
distinguished descendants, among whom was John Randolph, of Roanoke. 











OLD GUNS AT FORTRESS MONROE. The illustration shows a picturesque view of the moat, 
the parapet, and some of the old guns of this celebrated fortress, which is also fully equipped with 
the most powerful of modern ordnance. 











WAR TROPHIES AT FORTRESS MONROE. Fortress Monroe, at Old Point Comfort, just across 
Hampton Roads from the Exposition, is the largest and best equipped fort in Ameiica, and one of the 
strongest in the world. The colonists landed here before they landed at Jamestown. A palisaded 
fort was planned for this point in 1614 and erected a few years later. Jefferson Da\ is was confined 
in this fort for about two years after his capture in 1865. 












LAUNCHING OF THE U. S. S. BATTLE-SHIP NORTH CAROLINA. The launching of a new 
F’hip is always an occasion of profound interest, and in case of a government vessel of impressive 
ceremony and rejoicing. The chief interest centers in the christening, when the ship begins to 
move, at which time some gracious lady, selected for the occasion, proclaims the name of the vessel 
and breaks a bottle of wine or selected liquid. The North Carolina was built and recently launched 
at Newport News. 






ST. PAUL’S CHURCH, NORFOLK. St. Paul's Cliurc-h was erected in 1739. It is built in the 
form of a cross as were nearly all of the Colonial churches. When Lord Dunmore, enraged because 
of his defeat at Great Bridge, fired on Norfolk, New Year’s Day, 1776, a cannon ball lodged in the 
side of this church, where It can still be seen amid the ivy which covers the walls. 
















OL-D CHURCH TOWER, JAMESTOWN. Three hundred years ago, the first Protestant Church in 
America was built at Jamestown. It was burned within a few months, and four others followed it 
successively. The fourth, the tower of which is now standing, was commenced in 1639 and was 
burned in Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676 by a torch in Bacon’s own hand. It was rebuilt, but the 
tower and foundation alone remained until the present day, 






OVER THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE OLD CHURCH, but leaving the ivy mantled tower intact, 
the National Society of Colonial Dames of America has erected this memorial church building, which 
is as nearly a reproduction of the old church as available data made possible. It was formally 
presented to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities with appropriate ceremonies 
May 11, 1907. 









THE JACQUELIN- AMBLER RUINS, JAMESTOWN ISLAND. This old house was built about 

1710 by Edward Jacquelin on or near the site of the residence of Governor Wyatt. It was burned 
by Tarleton during the Revolution, and having been restored, was burned again during the Civil 
War, It was rebuilt and burned a third time, accidentally, in 1895. 







ST. LUKE'S CHURCH, SMITHFIELD. This old church, which was probably almost a counter¬ 
part. of the Jamestown Church of 1639, is the oldest Episcopal church in America. It was built in 
1632,, and is in a most excellent state of preservation. It is near Smithfield, about twenty miles 
from the Exposition grounds. 








SHIRLEY. Shirley was first occupied in 1613,, and was originally the property of Lord Delaware, 
the first royal governor of Virginia, (and his brothers.) In 1720, it passed into the hands of the 
Carters, and has been in the family ever since. Anne Hill Carter, the mother of “Light Horse” 
Harry Lee, and grandmother of Gen. Robert E. Lee, was born here. 









WESTOVER. The site of Westover was patented by Henry West, brother of Lord Delaware, in 
1619. In 1701, it passed by descent from his father to Col. William Byrd, who built the present man¬ 
sion. Col. Byrd founded Richmond and Petersburg, and in his day was the most accomplished man 
in the colony. 









ST. JOHN’S CHURCH, HAMPTON. Old St. John’s was built in 1727, and is the successor of a 
church commenced in 1610. It is in the town of Hampton, just across Hampton Roads from the 
Exposition, and only a short distance from Fortress Monroe. In this church are the oldest English 
church vessels in America, a chalice and paten, which are still regularly used in administering the 
Holy Communion. & 












MAIN BUILDING, NATIONAL SOLDIERS’ HOME, HAMPTON. Here the Government main¬ 
tains the largest of its homes for the aged and helpless soldiers who have served her in time of need. 
Overlooking a beautiful stretch of water, and equipped with every comfort, this place offers old soldiers 
an ideal home in which to pass their declining years. 









^ R° OM > CAVERNS OF LURAY, in the famous Shenandoah Valley, on the line of the 
Norfolh and Western Railway. The caves are seemingly endless chambers and labyrinthine passages 
with boundless riches disclosed and made accessible to visitors. The fame of the Caverns has nene- 
trated the uttermost parts of the earth.

DISMAL SWAMP. This great area of swamp land, comprising 200,000 acres, is located partly in 
Virginia and partly in North Carolina. It is thickly wooded and has a dense undergrowth shelter 
ing deer, bears and a large variety of wild animals. The edge of the swamp is about 10 miles from 
Norfolk. * 








SMITH’S ISLAND. On this Island, in the Chickahominy river, John Smith was captured by the 
Indians in 1607. He was carried by his captors before the great Chieftain Powhatan at Werewoco- 
moco, who ordered his brains to be beaten out. The timely intervention of Pocahontas saved his life. 





I 



THE NAVAL HOSPITAL, PORTSMOUTH. In this hospital aged and disabled sailors and marines 
of Uncle Sam s Navy are treated and cared for at the national expense. It is beautifully situated on 
the Elizabeth River, across from Norfolk, in the midst of a magnificent grove of tall pines. 







ANCHOR OF THE MERRIMAC. The battle of the Merrimac and the Monitor was fought in 
Hampton Roads, off the Exposition grounds, March 9, 1862. The Merrimac, two months, later, was 
blown up by the Confederates off Craney Island. This anchor was only recently recovered. 











































HOUSE OF BURGESSES. Here sat the Burgesses and. Governor’s Council in Colonial days. It 
saw the first formal opposition to the Stamp Act. It heard Patrick Henry’s greatest speech. Wash¬ 
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Marshall, Mason, Wythe, the Randolphs and others of great name 
often passed its portals, The most stirring incidents just prior to the Revolution occurred within its 
walls. 








STOVE AND SPEAKER’S CHAIR, OF HOUSE OF BURGESSES. This unique stove, or “Warm¬ 
ing Machine,” as it was called, was made in England by order of Lord Batetourt and presented to 
the House of Burgesses about 1781. The speaker’s chair was a present from Queen Anne, and was 
occupied by many famous Virginians about the time of the Revolution. 














BRUTON PARISH CHURCH, WILLIAMSBURG. Bruton Parish Church was more intimately 

associated with Colonial history than any other building in Virginia. Five presidents of the United 
States—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Tyler—worshiped here, as well as all of the 

Colonial governors and the members of the House of Burgesses for three-quarters of a century. It 

has been beautifully restored and contains many most interesting relics, among them the Jamestown 

baptismal font and communion service.

FOUNDATION OF THE OLD CAPITOL, WILLIAMSBURG. The old capitol was built “at the 

cost of Queen Anne.” Nothing remains now but the foundations. The stone monument shown in the 
illustration bears the names of those prominent in its history. 







OLD COURT HOUSE, WILLIAMSBURG. The old Court House was erected in 1769, and the voices 
of many of the Colonial great were heard within its walls. Its bell rang frequently to call the patriots 
together in Revolutionary times. 






THE OLD CHANCERY, OR CLERK’S OFFICE, WILLIAMSBURG. This is the only one of the 

old Colonial Government buildings now remaining. The interior has been remodeled and it is now 
occupied as a residence. 









































































ULD MASONIC TtiViHLt, wi LLI AivistiU RC. The Old Masonic Temple at Williamsburg is a 
dilapidated frame house with a tiny cupola. It is believed to be the oldest building in the United 
States that was used for masonic purposes. The first grand lodge of Virginia was organized within its 
walls. Lord Botetourt presented the lodge with a richly carved mahogany chair which was used by 
Washington at his first inauguration, and by President Arthur at the presentation of the \orktown 

monument. 








































WASHINGTON S HEADQUARTERS, RICHMOND. This is the oldest house in Richmond, and 

tradition attaches to it the names of Washington, Lafayette and Monroe, among other prominent 
men of early days. It was built very early in the eighteenth century. 
































































ST. JOHN’S CHURCH, RICHMOND. This old structure stands on Church Hill, Richmond, and 
was erected in 1739 upon land donated by William Byrd. Here, May 20, 1775, met Virginia’s most 
famous convention, in which rang out Patrick Henry’s sterling announcement “T know not what 
others may do, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” 





> 



CAPITOL SQUARE, RICHMOND. The capitol square at Richmond was established in 1780 upon 
the removal of the seat of government from Williamsburg to Richmond. It is a beautiful park and 
contains several handsome monuments, among the famous equestrian statue of Washington shown 
in the illustration. 
















THE CONFEDERATE CAPITOL. The old capitol of Virginia was erected in 1785 upon the 
removal of the seat of government from Williamsburg. It has many most interesting historical 
associations, among them the fact that within its walls the Confederate Congress held its sessions 
after its removal from Montgomery during the four years of civil war. 


















CONFEDERATE MONUMENT, HOLLYWOOD, RICHMOND. This 
massive pyramid of James River granite, ninety feet in height, stands 
as a monument to the twelve thousand Confederates who are sleeping 
their last sleep in beautiful old Hollywood Cemetery. 










WINNIE DAVIS MONUMENT. This beautiful angel by Zolnay hovers 
over the grave of Winnie Davis, the “Daughter of the Confederacy” in 
old Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond. Nearby is the grave of her father, 
Jefferson Davis, the only president of the Confederate States. 





MAIN STREET, YORKTOWN. Yorktown was established in 1691. The square brick building at 
the left in the illustration was the first custom house in the United States, and was erected in 1715. 
At Yorktown on October 19, 1781, Corwallis surrendered to Washington the British Army of 8,091 men. 
This victory practically concluded the Revolutionary War. 









CORNWALLIS’ CAVE, YORKTOWN. In this cave Lord Cornwallis 
is said to have found shelter during the siege of Yorktown. It was used 
in still earlier days by the smugglers, who used the niches in the wall to 
display their signal lanterns, which were visible for a long distance down 
the river.

REVOLUTIONARY MONUMENTS. The Yorktown Monument, at the left, commemorates the 
urrender of Cornwallis. The central monument is the famous equestrian statue of Washington in 
Japitol Square at Richmond. The monument at the right was erected to Mary, the mother of 
Washington, at Fredericksburg, her old home. 










































































THE CARLISLE HOUSE, ALEXANDRIA. The Carlisle house was built in 1732 on the top of 
an old stone fort which was erected by the early settlers about 1615. In the Blue room of this 
house Washington received his first commission, and here, in 1755, was held the council of war just 
before Braddock started on his fatal campaign against the Indians. 













THE LAST MEETING OF LEE AND JACKSON. The illustration shows 
General “Stonewall” Jackson in council during the battle of Ohancellorsville, 
and very shortly before General Jackscn was fatally wounded through mistake 

by his own men. 
















KENMORE, FREDERICKSBURG. This handsome old Colonial mansion was the home of Betty 
Washington Lewis, sister of Gen 'Washington, and was often visited by Gen. Washington, and others 
of prominence in Colonial history. 













“APPOMATTOX.” This is a fine old mansion situated on a promontory at the junction of the 
James and Appomattox Rivers. It has been the seat of the Epps family for nearly 200 years. During 
the operations around Petersburg, this house was used as the headquarters of Gen. U. S. Grant. 















CONFEDERATE MONUMENT; FREDERICKSBURG. Surrounded by the graves of many Con¬ 
federate soldiers, this monument attests the valor of the men of Lee and Jackson who fell in the 
sex eie lighting' aiound Fredericksburg. It has been said that within fifteen miles of this spot mole 

men were killed during the Civil War than England has lost in all her wars in the last one hundred 
years 


















BURNSIDE BRIDGE, ANTI ETAM BATTLEFIE LD, is twelve miles north of Harper’s Ferry, at 
Sharpsburg, Maryland. This section saw the mos t active operations of the Civil War. The battle of 
Antietam was fought September 17, 1862, the Northern Armies being commanded by McClellan and the 
Southern armies by Lee, and was the severest in casualties of any one-day battle of the war. 
Burnside Bridge takes its name from the desperate and successful forcing of the bridge by Burnside’s 
Ninth Corps. Large sums have been expended in erecting memorials, making roads and preserving 

battle lines. 









EARTH-WORKS AT SEVEN PINES. At Seven Pines, about seven miles east of Richmond, on 
May 31, 1862, occured one of the most terrific battles of the early part of the Civil War. About 90,000 
troops were engaged and the Confederate and Federal losses were about 6,000 and 5,000 men respectively 
The illustration shows part of the Federal entrenchm ents as they now appear. 

















"THE CRATER,” AT PETERSBURG. At this spot about 4 o’clock a. m., July 30, 1864, a Federal 
mine under the confederate line was exploded. The main gallery of the mine was 511 feet long, with 
two lateral galleries 37 feet each. The mine contained 8 magazines, each charged with 1,000 pounds 
of powder. The explosion made a breach about 150 feet long, 60 feet wide and 25 feet deep, into which 
were rushed 10,000 Federal troops, while 160 guns concentrated their fire on the Confederate lines. 
The Federals were repulsed with a loss of about 5,000 men, and the Confederates lost about 1,200. 








HIGH-WATER MARK; GETTYSBURG NATIONAL PARK. The purpose of the Gettysburg National 
Park is “to hold and preserve the Battle-grounds of Gettysburg, with tlm natural and artificial defenses 
and such memorial structures as a generous and patriotic people may aid to erect, to commemo¬ 
rate the heroic deeds, the struggles, and the triumphs of their brave defenders.” At this spot, High Water 
Mark, was fought the decisive struggle of the battle. 





THE CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON. The corner stone of the main building was laid by President 
"Washington in 1793. The wings were completed in 1811, and were partially burned by the British in 
1814. The extensions were first occupied by Congress in 1857 and 1859. The building faces the east, 
and the House of Representatives is in the right wing as it faces in that direction and the Senate 
Chamber in the left wing. The length of the Capitol is 751 feet, and its width, 350 feet. The dome 
rises to a height of 30714 feet above the esr^nade. _ 













WASHINGTON'S MANSION, MT. VERNON. The house was built in 1743 by Laurence a half- 
brother of George Washington, and inherited by the latter upon the death of Laurence and hi, only 
daughter V .bShington came here to live soon after his marriage in 1759. Here he conducted his 
arm until called to the field of war; to Mt. Vernon he returned after Yorktown, and again after 
terms as president, and here lived as a private citizen until his death in 1799. 









TOMB OF WASHINGTON AT MT. VERNON. The inscription upon the tomb reads “Within this 
inclosure rest the remains of General George Washington.” It is a plain brick structure with an 
arched gateway, and is called the new tomb, having been built to more securely preserve the body of 
Washington after the small Old Tomb had been desecrated by a vandal in 1831. Within the vault rest 
forty members of the Washington, Custis and related families. 







































HARPER’S FERRY lies at the junction of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. It 
derives its world-wide interest from the memorable raid of John Brown in 1859. View 1 shows 
Harper’s Ferry and a portion of three States: Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. No. 2 shows 
house from which Brown and his associates prepared for the slave raid. No. 3 the engine house in 
which he and his followers fortified themselves and were captured. No. 4 Monument marking site of 
old fort.

AN OLD TIME NEGRO CABIN. Life among large numbers of the Negro inhabitants of the 
South is very simple and primitive. With the sunny days of summer and mild winter climate verv 
rude protection answers the actual needs of the poor and lowly. Thus the “Old Time Cabins” are 
frequently seen in many parts of the Sunny South to-day.
